Stay Gone

You came running back to me,
handing me the most precious flower in an enchanted garden as if you did not ruin mine when you left me.

You held my hand,
and kissed it,
gentle, and soft
in a manner I wished you would before
But all I remember was
when my hands held yours
as I beg on my knees thinking I could get you pity over me
and stay.

I know you haven't forgotten yet, too.
that you let go of the hands that could've hold you forever
and walked away.

You looked at me now,
with your eyes sparkling in excitement,
I bet you have finally seen my worth,
The very thing you haven't given so much value way back then.

You told me you were so sure --- very certain.
that you would give the world, If you have to
the universe,
and my favorite, Betelgeuse.

And I smiled,
Cause you're so sweet.

But I am not.
So I'm sorry, I won't let you in,
No, I won't let you break me again.
